Full time in a parked RV in Alaska

I was FT for 14 months in Calgary Alberta in a 3 season TT. 2 winters.
Coldest temperatures I lived in were minus 34C (-30F)

While not the coldest on the planet, it's cold enough to require considerable thought and planning to survive.

I love and thrive on challenges, especially when some nimrod tells me I can't do it.

I used all my plumbing including the exposed 3 season waste tanks. I showered, used the potty and everything else.
Yeah my waste tanks froze up. Yes I had pipes freeze. But I am one seriously determined guy and do believe that I can achieve anything I set my mind to. Sometimes it's just to prove some negative doomsayers wrong but hey, that's just me!

I have a large radiant heater and when I needed to dump my tanks I laid the thing underneath for half a day and then dumped. A bit of work, yes but when you make up your mind to do something, you do whatever it takes.

Keeping the thing warm? Well, I gobbled up a pile of propane but I kept warm. Furnace was working overtime. Fan motor quit one day. I had to tear it apart and fix it in about minus 20. Not fun. But I made it work.
Fridge died on me. Too cold to run it. I bought a small bar fridge and parked it on the sofa.
See Pianotuna's excellent information on winter camping. He has done an awesome job of compiling winter tips.
When you are determined you will do anything to keep going.

Then there were things like tearing my frozen sheets off the bedroom wall. Having my laundry frozen to the wall inside the cabinet. Yank yank yank, rrrrrip that sock off the wall. Can't reposition my pillow, it's frozen to the wall. Don't sleep too close to the wall. You may have to extract yourself from your pj's to get up for a pee at 4AM. No water in the kitchen again, pipes frozen. Lay on my side for half an hour with the heat gun for the 13th time this month. Heat gun on the dump pipes. Such fun! Carpet runners all over the floor so I don't get frostbite on my feet.

Would I do it again? Yup! You bet I would! It was one of the best experiences of my camping life! I loved it!

Hey anything is doable!

What price are you willing to pay? How bad do you want to do it?
